I am writing this letter in response to your advertisement on the internet for the vacancy Dental Assisting position. I feel my interests and credentials match with the requirements of position and I would like to apply.

I have completed my graduation from Charter College. I have interned at many different places, worked with many other dental assistants with the responsibilities and tasks such as taking x-rays in Dexis/Dentrix/Eagle Soft, preparing supplies for making restorations and impressions, removing sutures, developing the film under the supervision of a dentist, cleaning up excess cement from a filling, applying treatment to teeth and gums using topical anesthetic.

For the growth and integrity of any company there is always a need for a well-trained and professional dental assistant. After reading your advertisement I feel that I am the right person for person who has experience and skill set you are looking for.

It would be great if we could meet personally to discuss how my experience and education will be useful for you. I will call you in the morning to set up a time for a meeting that suits you best. Thank you for your consideration and valuable time to look at my letter. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Dawn Kennedy
